Royd Edge, Meltham — Right Trainer, Blue

Royd Edge, Meltham  ·  Shoe #51  ·  Conditions: warm, hazy

On the track up Royd Edge, heel to the wall, which is the sort of detail I'm glad the notebook kept, because position tells you as much as owt else. Right trainer, blue. The laces were tied together — both of them, to each other — and I noted that as a fact and left it as a fact, because how a shoe comes to be anywhere is not really the point of what I do, and tied laces don't change that.

Warm and hazy, the notebook says, and the photograph didn't come out, which given the haze may not all have been the camera's fault for once. I couldn't tell you now what else I did that day. The record is the trainer, the wall, the laces, and the haze, and I'm content with that.

Written up August 2026, from the notebook.
